A student drops a water-filled balloon from the roof of the tallest building in town trying to hit her roommate on the ground (who is too quick). The first student ducks back but hears the water splash 4.021 s after dropping the balloon. If the speed of sound is 331 m/s, find the height of the building, neglecting air resistance.
(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
Wind gusts create ripples on the ocean that have a wavelength at 5.00 cm and propagate at 2.00m/s. What is their frequency?
The amplitude of a sound wave is measured in terms of its maximum gauge pressure. By what factor does the amplitude of a sound wave increase if the sound intensity level goes up by 40.0 dB?
During a thunder storm over the summer, you want to estimate the distance in kilometers (not miles!) of a flash of lightning: you count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing thunder, and then you divide by 2. 3. 4. 5. none of the above
(a) Your heart beats with a frequency of1.45 Hz. How many beats occur in a minute? (b) If the frequencyof your heartbeat increases, will the number of beats in a minuteincrease, decrease, or stay the same? (c) How many beats occur ina minute if the frequency increases to 1.55 Hz?
